Self-rising flour

[Jlavk]

In a recipe calling for self-rising flour,
can I substitute since I don't buy self-
rising flour.

Welcome to the BB. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif In the future, you might want to post these type of questions on the Great Food board. This board is mainly used for technical (computer) difficulties.

In answer to your question, this is what Cook's Thesaurus has to say:

self-rising flour = (in older cookbooks) pancake flour Shopping hints: This is more commonly used in the South than in the North. Substitutes: 1 C all-purpose flour + 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder + ½ teaspoon salt
